unprepared

I have lots of friends who are good at planning. They think through a journey, a project or responsibility with focused attention for:

needed resources,

timelines,

possible hazards,

preparing for the unexpected, as best as they can

Me, not so much. And that’s one of my shortfalls. If I told you of all the times when I’ve forgotten things (makeup, clothes, money, etc), shown up at the wrong time, been unprepared or shocked, maybe you’d smirk with a playful laugh. And hopefully you wouldn’t shame me with the normal, “You should know better, Sarah” because I already do that to myself enough 🙂

No matter if you’re a planner or prefer a more “spontaneous” approach, let’s be certain to allow the Holy Spirit to guide our steps and navigate the various destinations and outcomes. If you’re a planner, be careful that you don’t try to stay in control of the journey with the Holy Spirit. If you’re the spontaneous type, be sure to listen to the Holy Spirit for those gentle nudges / reminders about bringing stuff & keeping appointments 🙂
